Goal
Serve the web application using SSL over HTTPS on localhost
What has been done
server.js
server.js
inside package.json
scripts.server.js
const express = require('express');
const next = require('next');
const dev = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production';
const app = next({ dev });
const handle = app.getRequestHandler();
const port = 3000;
const https = require('https');
const fs = require('fs');
const httpsOptions = {
key: fs.readFileSync('./certificates/key.pem'),
cert: fs.readFileSync('./certificates/cert.pem')
};
app
.prepare()
.then(() => {
const server = express();
server.get('*', (req, res) => {
return handle(req, res);
});
server.listen(port, err => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('> Ready on http://localhost: ' + port);
});
})
.catch(ex => {
console.error(ex.stack);
process.exit(1);
});
Extra Information
The app currently works when initialized using yarn dev
. I have tried to serve the app over https using this answer but I was unable to figure out how to apply this to my current setup using NextJS.
I spent a lot of time researching the web how to apply this solution but have not yet found a way on how to make this work.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
You just need to use the createServer
method of https
module.
const { createServer } = require('https');
const { parse } = require('url');
const { readFileSync } = require('fs');
const next = require('next');
const port = 3000;
const dev = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production';
const app = next({ dev });
const handle = app.getRequestHandler();
const httpsOptions = {
key: readFileSync('./certificates/key.pem'),
cert: readFileSync('./certificates/cert.pem')
};
app.prepare()
.then(() => {
createServer(httpsOptions, (req, res) => {
const parsedUrl = parse(req.url, true);
handle(req, res, parsedUrl);
}).listen(port, err => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(`> Ready on https://localhost:${port}`);
})
});
